Hello- I'm trying to make a window that simply displays the time and date in Cocoa. However, I just can't figure out how to do it! here's what I have so far...

Can anyone help? Thanks!

I'm using Xcode 3.1.4...

Do it step by step.

1. Create a window with a text field that displays let's say "21:10:05, 29 Jan 2012".

2. Change your code so that the text field displays the time and date when you application is started.

3. Change your code so that the text field changes its display every second.

After looking at your project, maybe you should look for tutorials at developer.apple.com first.

Here you go. Now, look up NSTimer and make it update every second. And then look up drawing graphics and draw minute/hour hands.

Thank you, but it won't open on Xcode 3.1.4 on leopard.

Take a look at the source code files, it should be pretty straightforward. Add a text field to your window and connect it to the 'timeOutput' delegate.
